Thats Amore Italian Cafe

Everything about this restaurant is perfect! The food, atmosphere, views; everything. I got the Chicken Parmesan and it was absolutely incredible. I also tried some of the pork that my friend ordered, and it was so, so good. That pork was the best I've ever had, and so much better than pork at most specialty BBQ restaurants I've been to. The desserts were top notch as well. Very rarely can I find a restaurant that does everything perfectly, but Thats Amore is one of them.

Wow, the food was on point! Salmon perfectly cooked, all pastas al dente and delicious, salt-a-holics will have to ask for salt, service was polite but SLOW. Also, watch your receipt, 20% tip was added to total for a 4 top. Excellent drinks and we were all so satisfied without even looking at the desert menu. This place is small and gets full quickly. Loved it!!

If we could give it 10 stars we would have! From the greeting, ambiance, food and service this restaurant is exquisite! The presentation of the food matched the flavor and can be described no other way than flavorful and devine! The locals may know of this place but we are considering it the best kept secret for travelers!

What a beautiful little local spot! It was our first time in (new to the neighborhood). Staff were exceptionally welcoming and you can tell they really enjoy what they do. Food is fresh, made with love and a great deal of care, and we will definitely be back!

I’m in town for business, and was looking for a nice restaurant to treat myself. That’s Amore Italian Cafe was the perfect choice! If you’re a bourbon drinker definitely get the “Not so Old Fashioned.” For food, I started with their bread and three compound butters, all of which were delicious! They had a special on mussels which were perfectly cooked and the broth was amazing, the truffle compound butter is also delicious to add to the broth. For my main, I went with the pork belly which was on another level, it just needed a splash of acid or touch of salt for the tartness of the cherry demi. I took the tiramisu to-go and wasn’t disappointed. The ambiance and view over the city is a perfect complement to the food!

What could have been an excellent restaurant experience was diminished due to the service or lack there of by our server for the night. It started when asking about a drink from the menu, when I mentioned I didn't want the jalapeño she said why not, it's good. So that put me off. I don't want it because I just don't. I shouldn't have to explain why. I'm the one paying for it so I should get what my preference is not hers. We then ordered a few different starters. We ordered the bread with butter, the bruschetta, the cheese bread and the arugula salad. Of those all were very good (aside from the salad which in my opinion had too much dressing.) If that wasn't enough food we also got two entrees. The chicken Marsala wasn't anything to write home about. The Penne Special was the same. Nothing spectacular. The cannoli's on the other hand were amazing! The atmosphere and restaurant are nice. It was just the terrible service from the waitress that ruined it. She kept grabbing things without even asking if we were done. And then when I asked for boxes to put my leftovers in she insisted on doing it herself to only throw away part of my bread with butter THAT WE PAID FOR. I honestly don't think I'd ever come back to dine in at this restaurant. If you order just get it to go.

The food was delicious! I especially love their small plates. The view of the Seattle sky line is magnificent and the ambiance is flawless. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

This restaurant is a hidden gem! Amazing views, the best food, and the best wait staff. We even had our wedding rehearsal here and they made everything so incredibly special. Definitely try the Dungeness crab pasta! We most recently went for Valentine’s Day and everything was perfect.

The food, service, and ambiance are worth a visit to this neighborhood gem! We visited That's Amore with friends on a Friday, late afternoon into evening. It's a quaint neighborhood spot in the Mt. Baker neighborhood. We went for the Caprese, Bruschetta, and Bread n Butter to start. By-the-way, the bread is not on the house. We then turned our attention to the entrees. The Lasagna with Spicy Sausage, Bucatini Carbonera with Pancetta and Smokey Bacon, the Fettuccine Afredo with Shrimp, the Chef's Catch (which was Halibut with Mushroom Risotto), and the Dungeness Crab Pappardelle were all delightful. There wasn't a complaint in the group. We capped it off with a couple Tiramisus, a Decadence, and Cannoli. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and the view of the business district of Seattle from our table was amazing!

Always delicious and the best view! We have eaten there many times over years, with small groups and larger ones. Recently, my daughter went there with her friends for her birthday dinner and it was perfect.

Fun intimate spot in south Seattle. Brought my family here for an early dinner. We walked in without a reservation with no problem. Super kid friendly staff that offered my daughters paper and crayons to color. Also offered to order the kids meals right away, which was a nice gesture knowing we walked in hungry! I got the crab pappardelle pasta special which was a huge portion of crab and fresh pasta. My husband got the bolognese, both delicious dishes. Kids pasta was a bit pricey but everything tasted great and felt very welcome. They have a great view of downtown Seattle and will be back for a date night!

Cute little restaurant in an out of the way neighborhood. It has a distant view, but from our table it was a little hard to see. The food was good, but a little pricier for most pasta places. I had the boar pappardelle and my friends had the crab pappardelle. We all enjoyed the dishes. Service was efficient and helpful. There is a 20% service charge - but I was told that you can use that as your tip or have it removed and add your own tip or add more. We were celebrating a birthday and they comped us a dessert! So nice! There is street parking.

One of my new favorite places to go in Seattle!! Went for date night and they made sure it was awesome! The food was delicious and the staff were super attentive!! They put us at a table by the window where we had an awesome view of the city. We got the Lasagna, the Halibut special, and Tiramisu!

The bf and I chose that's amore for our anniversary dinner. Such a cute little spot with great views and very cozy! We very much enjoyed our appetizers - burrata and the risotto cakes. However, we were disappointed with the quality of our pasta dishes. I found my Alfredo sauce to be quite watery and not very flavorful. He ordered the penne speciali and very much enjoyed the fresh vegetables, but the pasta and sauce itself fell short. A bit disappointing after seeing all the rave reviews - maybe we were there on an off night. The service was quick and staff made sure to wish us a happy anniversary which felt very special.

Absolutely amazing service and food. My gf and I went on a really long tiring walk and stumbled across this place and they treated us and our dogs like royalty first thing.

I came here first a dozen years ago with a large group. I didn't make the reservation and didn't remember the name of the restaurant, but I remembered the high quality of the food and the service. I found the restaurant again a few years ago and it's become one of our favorite restaurants. I've brought out of town guests and came again this year for my birthday. Excellent food, friendly, professional and efficient service is the restaurant's hallmark.

That's Amore is a very good Italian Restaurant. The view of Seattle from the restaurant is incredible. This is a great place to visit for a date or special. We ordered the bread and butter (doesn't come with the meal) and Amore salad for appetizers, and linguini and Chicken Parmesan for entrees. The bread and butter was exceptional, it came with 3 unique butters that were infused with herbs and vegetables. The salad was very good, and had a great balance of flavors. We enjoyed the entrees, but the entrees had a few minor issues. The linguini was covered in a lemon sauce. The lemon was a little overpowering in the sauce, that it took away from the other ingredients in the dish. I added black pepper to the dish which neutralized the flavor and balanced the dish. The Chicken Parmesan was slightly overcooked, but the entree had good flavor. Aside from the few missteps in our entrees, the meal was amazing, and the ambience at this restaurant is unmatched. I would definitely visit again.

This was where we ate on my very first date with my husband! I have very fond memories of the view and the food. It's a quaint spot with Seattle charm. We have been married now for 12 years. Cheers to that's Amore !

We two had dinner. Highlights are the view and the ambiance. Neighborhood restaurant worth dining at if you live nearby. SERVICE: 3.5. Attentive and friendly. 20% service charge included in bill. FOOD: 3.0. - Grilled Pear Salad: 3.0. We split a salad. OK. - Fungo Davi (appetizer plate): 3.5. Mushrooms were good with bread (ordered separately). Bread comes toasted, and should be eaten before it cools down. - Linguine: 2.5. Shrimp was rather salty for us. - Bucatini Carbonara: 3.0. - Dessert - Chocolate Decadence: 2.0. Way too sweet for our tastes. Really sweet. - Dessert - Cannoli: 3.0. AMBIANCE: 4.0. We dined indoors as it was a grey evening. Tables nicely-spaced and comfortable. Simple, inviting interior. Excellent view over Seattle from the windows on rear wall. Our table was in second row away from wall and well-positioned to take advantage of view. There are 2 tables and half of another that are right next to the windows; one is next to the 2 bathrooms but the positives of the view will probably trump the negative of the bathroom traffic for most folks.

Had spaghetti meatballs with Caesar,gin martini with Italian logger chaser.Freaking delicious!

We had a 9pm Valentine's seating at That's Amore! We were served by the incredible Gabriella that guided us through the menu and made sure our glasses were filled, our silverware fresh, and our table clean! Bonus: We were given the table my partner requested with a beautiful nighttime view of the city. We started with the risotto cakes which were fried to PERFECTION! I wish I had remembered to add crispy pancetta on top, but will definitely returning and will do so next time! We split the rolls that game with olive butter, a lemon/horseradish butter, and lobster butter. Loved how they incorporated the specialty butters into the courses, it was a glimpse of what was to come! The olive butter is worth its hype- such a unique blend of flavors. We split the carbonara, tuscan pork and tenderloin of beef special. THE TENDERLOIN OF BEEF WAS TO DIE FOR!!!! I am so bummed it's a special because anyone who does not try it is really missing out. The beef was cooked to perfection and dressed in a creamy lobster butter. Each bite was topped with lobster meat and accompanied by a gorgeous truffle mashed potato. I found myself dipping my bread in the butter at the end of the meal because I could not get enough. With all of the red meat we ordered, the carbonara offered a balance. Additionally, the bathrooms were clean, the food came out at a perfect pace, and we found the staff to be attentive. It was the perfect place to celebrate Valentine's!

Loved it , specially my 2yr old he loved the spaghetti and the cannoli every bite he would close his eyes and make a "it's yummy face" the view and service was also great! Thanks "Leo approved"

I was craving Italian food and came across That's Amore. I had no reservations and showed up. Luckily there were open seats at the bar (total of 4 spots) - in the future the staff highly recommended reservations. I ordered a few things and I wish the portions were bigger because it was delicious! If you order a starter, main, and desert then you'll be fine but anything less may still leave you wanting a snack or something. Bread and butter: the bread is warm and the crust is crunchy. It's topped with rosemary, salt, and pepper and was my favorite part of the dish. Butters seemed to be on rotation but there three I had were truffle, roasted tomato, and honey pear with brie. Bucatini carbonara with chicken (additional charge): the dish was creamy and super delicious. Loved everything. I added chicken to the dish and that was also juicy. My pasta had some carry over from a different dish as there were some pieces of onion and mushroom. Tiramisu: I didn't realize how large the slice of tiramisu was. It was delicious however some sections of the lady fingers weren't sufficiently soaked so it was a little dry. Overall, staff was pretty friendly and food was delicious! Will definitely be back in the future for special occasions given the price.

I haven't even gotten home yet and already am writing this review bc it was so amazing! I've lived in Seattle all my life & somehow never knew of this hidden gem! Amazing service, you can tell they actually really care about their customers and the customer experience which I appreciate. The food was to die for! I got the special- crab Pappardelle and it was soooooo good. TONS of crab!! We also got three appetizers, a pizza & another pasta and the tiramisu that was DELISH and so moist! I will definitely come back and tell all my friends/family to as well! I also think it was very reasonably priced. We came on a Monday night at 6 PM no reservations and were able to walk in!

Searched yelp and found That's Amore! My husband and I were glad we found this cute little cafe. We shared the Rigatoni bolognese and a That's Amore pizza. Perfect sharing size portions. Staff was quick and friendly. Food was delicious and hit the spot. The pizza was not at all greasy, it had a nice little crunch on the crust and the sauce was perfect. If I ever come back to Seattle, I will definitely hit up That's Amore again. I was a little surprised with the 20% gratuity for a party of 2 but it was well deserved, we actually tipped a little more because we enjoyed our meal.

I came in with high expectations and was actually SHOCKED at how my expectations were blown out of the water. Appetizers: -Salumi ($18): Charcuterie Board with Various Meats/Cheeses/Accompaniments. Standout was the goat cheese with lavender honey. -Amore Salad ($15): perfectly dressed, great port wine vinaigrette Mains: -Pappardelle ($29): with Wild Boar and a robust Tomato Sauce -Bucatini Carbonara ($23): Toothsome bucatini in an insanely rich creamy carbonara sauce -Tuscan Pork Belly ($31): Such a showstopper! Love how the individual components of the dish (creamy polenta, crispy pork belly, sweet cherry demi) came together for a cohesive, well balanced dish Dessert: -Tiramisu ($12) -Salted Caramel Decadence ($11) -Glass of Moscato ($11) Plating for the desserts is wonderful and none of them were too sweet (very well balanced). All the pastas tasted fresh and I love how the portions were not massive. Great staff. Outdoor patio and indoor seating - the views overlooking the Downtown Seattle Skyline are incredible if you are lucky enough to score a window seat.

Lovely neighbourhood Italian restaurant with gorgeous views over the city. Wonderful service and traditional Italian food. A wonderful place to celebrate anything.

Hidden neighborhood gem. Excellent city views if you get a table towards the back of the restaurant. Traditional Italian with a unique take on some dishes as well as specials. Service is very friendly and down to earth earth.

The service was superb. And the food was amazing!! We tried pizza, salad, and pasta. Foodwas amazing!

Enjoyed coming here for dinner one evening. It's a smaller venue but there were only a few parties seated while we were there. The food and service were both good. Lovely views looking towards downtown Seattle.

Rating on behalf of 4 people. 1. carbonara pasta: 4/5 stars. Very good. It is a lower calorie version of all the carbonaras I've eaten to date so it didn't have much egg yolk/cream sauce. I kinda missed that, but I also knew I didn't have to feel guilty about eating it too so that was nice. I did like that the meat prices were mostly protein and not fat pieces. 2. Fungi dish - 5/5 3. Chicken alfredo 4/5 - very good. We have had better but this one is solid 4. Penne pasta (made vegetarian) - good but needed more flavor to be a 5 Tiramisu - 4/5. Very good. A little too alcohol for some of us, but work great Flourless chocolate cake - 2.5-3/5 it tasted like Soemthing we could buy from a grocery store. Definitely recommend the tiramisu instead? Service was very kind. All the staff were friendly!

After a long week of work my husband and I were craving Tiramisu. In Federal Way you are very limited on finding Tiramisu let alone finding authentic Tiramisu. Found this cafe via Yelp and placed an online order so I could pick it up on my way home. The online order asks if you want to pick it up inside or car side. They even ask you for the color of your car and make. (*Note* there is no where in front of the cafe for them to bring you your food car side at least nothing marked) Instead of assuming someone would see my bright blue car from the curb that was indirectly in front of the cafe I walked up to the hostess. The portion we received might just look small because it was in a takeout container and unlike all the other photos I've seen of the Tiramisu from this cafe, it has no frills like the dine in photos. (I'm kicking myself for not taking a photo) It's not as tall or wide either. The lady fingers still were not soaked even though previous reviews/comments had suggested the cake was dry. I don't want to be negative so the place could be deserving of five stars, but I will need to try the rest of the menu and possibly dine in to get the best experience. I'm disappointed I had to pay $16 (rounded up after tax, service fee and tip) for a small slice of fry layered cake, but for the authenticity I will leave a four. The flavor was on point. Just please start soaking those lady fingers.

I went here for Valentine's Day with my husband. I made a very last minute reservation and love Italian food, this was all I could find. It is a very date-like vibe, small tables and an intimate setting. They have some nice views if you get a table by the window too! I was a bit disappointed with the food given the ratings online. I got a seafood special and it was so bland and tasteless. I ended up not even finishing my meal. My server recommended a dessert wine which I enjoyed. I will say the service was great but I am skeptical to come back because of the food.

There is a beautiful view from the restaurant and it is located in a quiet neighborhood. I also enjoyed the food and the portion sizes were perfect!

This was the worst food I've had at a restaurant in a very long time. I don't understand the goodwill reviews! And the worst part is that it's also expensive. The mushrooms tasted like Mold, the pizza was rubbery and undercooked, the salad dressing was straight vinegar. It's too bad.

This was a cute lie restaurant wayy up the hill with a very gorgeous view of the city. We had a table right by the window and were able to enjoy the sunset before the city light came on. The food was amazing! Loved the baled goat cheese and the risotto cakes. We also had the salad with the pear and champagne vinaigrette. For our entrees we had the margherita pizza with a thin crust and plenty of cheese. As well as the carbonara pasta. The pasta was so unctuous! All the staff was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely recommend!!

You are correct. I posted this complaint to the wrong restaurant. It's difficult getting old.

This is a cute family-owned Italian restaurant, and they were very friendly and had good service. The menu had to be supplemented by their special options, all of which sounded like better choices. One of us tried getting their short rib, but they had ran out because we went for a late dinner. I had the soup because I wasn't too hungry, and it was really good and the burrata cheese was a nice addition. It wasn't too thick and heavy, and I could tell it was fresh and homemade. The bread and butter was expensive for what it was, and you would expect them to serve bread for free. However, it was pretty tasty, and there was enough butter for the amount of bread it came with. Went home with a large piece of tiramisu, and it was pretty tasty when I had it for breakfast the next day :) If the prices were 20% cheaper per item, it would've had a better recommendation because the bill was expensive given what we ordered.

Wow what a wonderful spot to dine with friends on NYE. The staff at That's Amore! made us feel like we were eating at a private event in their home. They even brought us all complementary glasses of champagne and allowed us to participate in a raffle where we won a free appetizer! I was lucky enough to have a Masterclass in plating while I was eating because I had a great angle of the kitchen from where I sat. My mouth was watering with anticipation the entire night. They almost had to bring me new napkins. The Pappardelle with wild boar was outstanding and had massive chunks of meat in it. I also got to try a few bites of the carbonara and it was like taking a nap in a delicious river of cheesy pasta. The surprise of the day for me was the goat cheese appetizer. I'm not even a big goat cheese fan, but they turned it into a bowl of cheese dip to go with homemade chips. I had to lick the plate clean before they took it away from us. This was a great experience with plenty of wine being passed around, and enough butter and cheese to induce an early 2022 heart attack.

My husband and I were looking for some Italian food that was filling and delicious and we definitely found it here at That's Amore! We ordered the specials of the day. I had the pasta with the Dungeness Crab. It was topped with asparagus and shaved cheese. That was so delicious, so much flavor and the pasta had great texture. My husband got the Steelhead on a bed of spinach. And it was also delicious I definitely stole some bites of that. We had the red wine spritzers because we wanted something refreshing. Our waitress suggested it to us and it was so good! Our waitress was so attentive and kind. We loved our service. The owners even came to talk to us and they were kind and helpful. We also sat outside and had a great view of the greenery next to the restaurant. We definitely will be back!

It was a wonderful experience at That's Amore. From the moment we walked in, staff was welcoming and attentive. Even on a dark winter night, the view was beautiful from our window seats. We had the amazing Baked Goat Cheese, the perfect butternut squash soup and then the Carbonara pasta. Staff were attentive and friendly but not bothersome. This will definitely be a restaurant we will return to frequently. Thank you for a delicious and delightful evening.

Fck the 20% surcharge, food is average and service was alright. Location with no parking available. Do not return

After debating where to eat pizza in downtown Seattle we opted for a a short drive and try That's Amore! We walked in and loved the ambiance with the great overlook of Seattle. We started out with the Amore salad. They split the salad which worked out perfectly. The wife was pleased. The bottled beer was poured into chilled glasses which worked for us. I was surprised the wife ordered the Amore pizza because it's all meats with veggies. Wow, we loved it, the crust was amazing as was the entire experience. I left my credit card behind and walked next door to take photos of the city. Luckily, I was reunited with my card by restaurant staff as we took selfies with the city in the background. Amazing Seattle experience. Give out a try.

I made reservations expecting an authentic and well prepared Italian meal, friendly service and warm atmosphere. In reality the service was abrupt, the server rushing away without a word, obviously annoyed we took 2 minutes to select the wine. Instead of placing the appetizer plates she handed out a stack to hand around ourselves. There is barely any decoration on the walls, and the temperature was cold. Finally the food was overcooked and didn't have a lot of taste.

In love with this delightful neighborhood Cafe! Fabulous dinners... Chicken parmesan and wild boar paparadell. Such friendly reception and service. We can't wait to return to this intimate ambiance. Next time we will request a window seat with view over Seattle skyline and shining Puget Sound​

Service was lackluster. The restaurant was only 1/4 full with plenty of empty tables. When asked if we could have a window table we were informed they were all reserved. Fair enough, but they all remained empty during our time there even upon departure. I noted on our reservation that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary but it was not acknowledged. Food was just ok, nothing that stood out. The mandatory 20% service charge was not fair given our poor experience here. Will not return and do not recommend this business.

Must have passed this place hundreds times. We decided we wanted Italian and wanted outdoor seating. We hadn't been here in over 20 years I'm sure. Glad we did stop. The food is absolutely delicious! My brother & I both ordered the linguine with shrimp, spinach, & asparagus. It was divine! Husband ordered the pear salad and bruschetta. He loved it! We ordered extra bread so we could finish the butters that were served earlier. I was a bit horrified to see the black butter. Was told it was squid ink butter. I will try most things at least once. I'm glad I did. It had a hint of seafood flavoring. It was not gross at all. The other butters were chili butter and I think an herbal butter. All were great! My entree came and was delighted that it wasn't a huge portion. The sauce was delicious. The shrimp & veggies were perfectly cooked, not overly cooked at all. We used the extra bread to wipe up the left over sauce. I couldn't take another bite. The desserts look delicious, but I just couldn't eat another bite. We will definitely return if not for just the desserts, perhaps a smaller meal so we make sure we save room for dessert!

Fantastic food, everything we got was delicious. Service was also exceptional. We didn't have a reservation, but they went out of their way to set us up at the bar and move us to a table when one became available.

Really some of the best Italian Comfort food around. Comfort two ways- 1.Pizza , Lasagna and specials are perfecto 2. The two owner guys and the cooks/staff seem like family. Very Comfort. Their community involvement and wonderful seasonal displays make it seem like they are your friends down the street.......HEY WAIT A MINUTE....They ARE my friends down the street ! We Got You All.

Love it! Great ambience , we had a large group and service was amazing! Totally recommend

I had this whole page written out for this review, but decided to get to my point instead of posting my one pager. Food is good, service is terrible if you're a minority. It's super old money white feeling.

We had a wonderful meal. Food was excellent and so was the service. It's a smaller restaurant so I would recommend you make a reservation. Nice view toward downtown Seattle.

We had a cozy dinner here Christmas Eve while visiting Seattle. Ambience is warm and cozy. We were seated right away and our server could not have been more lovely and helpful from start to finish. We ordered the baked goat cheese starter and it came with a pile of tortilla chips. It was warm, rich, and delicious. Next we shared the penne speciali (chicken, spinach, tomato, mushroom, white wine butter sauce). The flavor was lovely but I prefer pastas with 'sauce' and this didn't have any real sauce. Lastly we shared Tuscan pork belly with polenta. It was perfectly prepared and we both enjoyed it. They also have a nice wine list, which we reviewed ahead of time. They have some very moderately priced bottles of wine that paired perfectly with our lovely dinner. Overall, we had a very lovely evening and definitely recommend. Our bill included a 20% gratuity, as another revier noted, so we didn't add any additional gratuity.

The place was super cute and intimate. I got a very good strawberry Italian soda. I was disappointed with my carbonara. It was cold and the middle was lukewarm. My friend got the same thing and theirs was also cold. We were both disappointed with how cold it was especially for the price. I probably would have sent it back but I was at a group dinner party and was not about to be that person. I tried the tiramisu too and that was soooo good!! The service was good too. Our waitress was on top of refilling our waters.

That's Amore! continues to be an outstanding restaurant- if you have tried it out, you should!

This was a neat place with a nice view. Portions were on the small side for Italian. We ordered 2 ice teas, one $41 entree and one $19.00 entree and $5 bread. I got the bill and it was $127.00. Absolutely unacceptable rip off. The food was nothing to die for, the service was mediocre, but the robbery on the way out was ridiculous. Add the 20% into your prices and not as a stab in the back. We will never be back to this place. Disappointed Seattle!

I brought my wife and two kids for dinner. I ordered the Alfredo with chicken, my wife the Pastas Pappardelle and my two 3 year old daughters their kids Linguini. The linguini was watery and tasted more like ketchup that pasta sauce. The Alfredo was decent and so was the pappardelle. Nothing to rave about, just decent. FYI - There's a 20% service charge. So whether you like the food, service or not. It doesn't matter! Their getting theirs . Again I am not rating the rest of their menu for I haven't experienced it. Just the ones we ordered. It's a nice corner restaurant for sitting down and drinking wine with friends.
